Sorry but no you're not worth it, to the VA. They can medicate you and keep you quiet, thus saving them mucho money. They never promised great care, just "free care," which is why I use my private physician. In the past 4 months, he's put me on insulin, scanned my bladder, my aorta, increased my meds for my blood pressure and I've had an EKG. I also have a referral to a pulmonologist in 2 wks. The VA has done basically nothing.
I did have an eye exam, by a student the other day, that I had to sit thru a second time, while the Dr reviewed it and checked everything. That's the problem w/VA care. If they err, you can sue, if you live. jmo
